Hi!
What would be needed to access Theta V’s “wireless live stream” through via a wifi router on a computer?
By that I mean only the image, like when accessing the live stream via USB in QuickTime or VLC player?
Thanks a lot for any help.

Thank you for your response.
I’m still trying to get the RTMPDump to work, but struggling with my skills.
But more basically and I still dont understand, what would be the IP settings I would have to make in the Wireless Live Streaming Plug-In?

The Device WebAPI Plug-in does a perfect stream via wireless, but unfortunately there’s no equirectangular mode.

The automatic facial blurring plugin does a good and steady stream in my browser. While inspecting it I realized that the projection on the ball is actually an MJPEG that is constantly streaming equirectangular images as soon as the plugin is activated. any tips on finding out the address of that stream to then be used further?

In previous articles I explained how to configure YouTube
and Facebook
for wireless live streaming.

Part of the configuration process involves using a web browser such as Chrome or
Firefox to save the YouTube or Facebook stream key to the THETA V. In order to
start this configuration process, you need to know the IP address of your camera
when the camera is in client mode.

Here are six ways to find the IP address of your camera when it’s connected to a Wi-Fi
hotspot as a client.

1. Use Ricoh Mobile App

The easiest way to find the IP address of your camera is to use the Ricoh mobile
app. After establishing a connection between your camera and your Internet router, use
the Ricoh mobile app and go to:

Settings -> Camera settings -> Camera version

You will see the IP address on the next screen.

This is the easiest and best way to find your IP address. If you can’t use the
mobile app or if you want to use a different method, read on.

2. Log into you Wi-Fi router

If you are working at home, you can probably log into your Wi-Fi router
as an administrator and see the IP address that the router assigned the THETA V.

3. Use adb shell and ifconfig

If you’re doing development, you probably have your THETA connected to your
workstation with a USB cable. You can use the Android Debug Bridge (adb) to
get the IP address quickly.

I have not tried the techniques below, but it might be easier to set up your own RTMP server on your workstation. In this strategy, you setup a private RTMP server to replace YouTube or Facebook RTMP server. then, you input that RTMP server into the Wireless Live Streaming Plug-in configuration panel. You can then view the RTMP stream using a web browser. There’s probably easier ways to accomplish this, but if you get something going first, it will be more satisfying to keep trying other techniques.

Most people who stream enjoy using services such as Twitch.tv or Ustream to deliver video to viewers, and that works well enough. But sometimes you want some more control over your stream, or you want other people to be able to stream to you, or...
